It still seems like a really bad idea to rely on a third-party to control your heating. They might not have any malicious intents, but they could just shut down the service one day and your thermostat won't be worth much anymore. Not to mention the security implications of running your thermostat on some remote server that you don't control.

That said, there's microcontrollers and firmware in all programable thermostats (not to mention the heat pump). Most people today already rely on third parties to heat and cool their homes.
